"Ireland will host Bangladesh for three Twenty20 internationals in July, Cricket Ireland has confirmed. The teams had initially planned on playing an ODI series in Ireland but the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) requested a Twenty20 series instead, in order to prepare for the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka later in the year. The nine-day tour of Ireland will also include a practice game."

I've just read this article and though it is indeed a low score, I have been aware of lower scores in the past.

When I was a scorer in the early 70s in the "North Manchester League", I was aware of a match a few years earlier where one of the teams was all out for 3. I've just done a little googling and found that this was in 1966.

In the season where I was a scorer, in the very first game the opposition was all out for 17, but more remarkable was that one of the bowlers took 7 wickets for 1 run.

I'd be interested to know of other paltry scores, or any instances of a bowler bettering these figures.

The North Manchester League was not a particular high level league like the Bolton League or Lancashire League, but it still exists today.

We once bowled a team out for 19. Our captain took all 10 but not sure how many for. Not a lot obviously.

Durham bowled Durham Uni out for 18 at the start of this season (one player absent hurt).

I have seen 8 all out twice.

I remember during one Kanga league match the opponent were bowled for 21 at Azad Maidan.
